I'm not a huge fan of the US, and I grew up on a border town and also lived there two times for short working stints. I don't like the amount of guns and violence there. Also don't like that teachers in the US get paid diddly squat for the work they do. In some states they are now training their teachers how to use guns. There are some beautiful places there and I've done some hiking in North Carolina and New York State.
I should add I have friends in the US and I met some amazing people when I lived in North Carolina. It is more the politics and bullshit I don't like. I used to shop over in NYState when the dollar was at par to ours.
not when you are stood there counting your 1Ks with a confused look on your face
Never had anything but a good time in the states.
A taxi?
For those of you who do visit New York City and don’t want to enjoy the views while walking upload the Uber app. It works great, even in the rain. And much less than a taxi.
edit. Tip the driver with cash
How much cheaper are they, then?
Hal, when you heading to the states?
Difficult to measure (in and around the city maybe half price). NY cabs have a meter in them to remind you how much extra you’re paying when the traffic is at a standstill or moving in slower traffic.
With Uber, you’re quoted a price while on the phone.
You should visit again. Go Airbnb. Superhost only or just make sure the person you might be renting from has plenty of good reviews.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
^visit during spring time
